Fortunately, recent advances make such analysis possible. Network theory facilitates simulated representations of CES architectures [1]}, [2]}, [3]}, and agent-based modeling grants access to macro-level outcomes of micro-level decisions and interactions [4]}, [5]}, [6]}. Systems engineering research has explored alternative system formulations such as Value-Driven Design [7]}, [8]} while engineering design research has formulated Multidisciplinary Design Optimization [9]}, each of which lends itself to abstract representations of CES development. Likewise, organizational research is beginning to explore computational methods of representing organizational processes [10]}, [11]}, [12]}, [13]}, [14]}, [15]} as engineering follows suit [16]}, [17]}, [18]}, [19]}, [20]}, [21]}.
